I think I probably have more of a care level for the Royal Wedding...

Maybe that's too far

Yea, But you say it in an accusational way...
Like it is a bad thing.. or something he should have been ashamed of.

I really couldn't give a toss.

Coke head who preached a load of sh1te, am still shocked by the outpouring of emotion over his death.

Died because he was a junkie end of - hundreds of junkies die in this country.

Another Katie French - I don't care about either of them and if I never hear of either of them again I will be delighted.

Nothing worse then a hypocrite

Constantly preaching and labeling people in the drug trade as scum and then leaves the studio and supports them

In fact he was well able to look down his nose at lots of people and call them scum

I'm sure you could find a youtube clip of anyone famous showing them in a bad light, you cant use that one instance to sum up his character

Never, ever liked Gerry Ryan, and that clip, which I had never seen, perfectly sums up why. He should have taken Ramsey's advice.

Yes.
But ultimately it will turn into a commemoration of my glorious return to after hours moderating.
All hail me.
